''Making Fiends'' is an animated television series, created by Creator/AmyWinfrey. It is a spin-off of an online series of the same name and started airing on NicktoonsNetwork on October 4, 2008.The show revolves around the life of Charlotte, a sweet, innocent little girl who is the new girl in the town of Clamburg (she used to live in Vermont, according to the first webisode). Charlotte is also incredibly na´ve, and is unable to think badly of anyone around her. Charlotte quickly makes "friends" with [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Vendetta]] (or so she thinks), a horrid little girl who makes monsters, or fiends, through baking. Vendetta cannot stand Charlotte's happy-go-lucky nature, and will often go to great lengths to destroy Charlotte (or at least get her out of the way for a little bit). These attempts inevitably backfire, usually resulting in Vendetta doing great damage to herself. When they do succeed, Charlotte can only see the bright side of her situation and will become more annoying than usual. [[StatusQuoIsGod Everything is back to normal by the end of the episode]].

Vendetta, due to her fiend-making abilities, [[VillainWorld appears to have the entire town at her control]]. As such, Clamburg is a bleak, dark and forbidding place.

The show seems to be cancelled at this point, as it has been almost 4 years since an episode was aired, and even reruns of the show have stopped airing, as of July 2012. The show's creator has stated that she's made 7 more episodes, but it seems Nick has no plans to air it

''WebAnimation/BigBunny'' is another web series by Amy Winfrey. It never had a chance of becoming a TV series, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids for]] [[BloodierAndGorier various]] [[ItsShortSoItSucks reasons]].

----!!''MakingFiends'' contains examples of:* AdaptationExpansion: The TV series expanded the scope of the series beyond the school and into the town, allowing for greater exploration on how Vendetta's rule works out for Clamburg. It also fleshes out Charolotte and Vendetta's home lives and provides deeper characterization for many of the side characters. * ADayInTheLimelight: Marion, Marvin and Mr. Milk "New Best Friend," "Marvin The Middle Manager," and "Toupee," respectively.* AdultsAreUseless * AffablyEvil: Charlotte in "Making Friends". Even when she's trying to kill Vendetta, she's still as [[CheerfulChild cheerful]] as ever.* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: All of the main human characters besides Charlotte and Vendetta have names that start with "M" (Marvin, Marion, Malachi, Mr. Milk, Mrs. Minty, etc).* AndThenWhat? Mr. Milk in one episode mentions how he could have put (shrunken) Vendetta in a jar, but had no idea what would happen afterwards.* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Every human character is basically a stick figure filled in with one color. Usually blue, grey or purple.* AprilFoolsDay: ** The Bulgarian Episode. As in an episode spoken completely in Bulgarian. This received a ''lot'' of complaints for being impossible to follow -- so Winfrey added subtitles that were [[GagSub intentionally mangled and grammatically incorrect.]]** The [[http://makingfiends.com/fiend/movies/aprilfoolsversions/fiend06.swf April Fools' version of the sixth webisode]] replaces all the spoken dialogue with a text-to-speech computer voice.** On April 1, 2012 uploaded a new episode called "[[http://www.makingfiends.com/fiend22.htm Making Friends]]", which reverses the roles of Charlotte and Vendetta. * ArtEvolution: From the web series to the TV series. Houses and backgrounds are heavily detailed, and the characters are geometric rather than scribbly.* AscendedExtra: Maggie, who sits in the back of the room, had exactly one line in the original webseries. On the TV show, she's gloomy and depressive. Sure, she only gets one episode, but by comparison it's a lot. * BigNo: Vendetta's usual reaction when her plans go awry.* BreakTheCutie: Averted.** Although played straight in the TV episode "No Singing", [[spoiler:when Charlotte hears a very sad poem and [[HeroicBSOD falls into a depression.]] Being Charlotte though, she does get better rather quickly.]]** Also played straight in "New Best Friend," where Vendetta befriends Marion, leaving Charlotte a sobbing wreck. It takes a while for this one.* BornInTheWrongCentury: Malachi.* ButtMonkey: Marvin is always having his property forcibly taken from him by Charlotte or Vendetta, and according to his bio on the Nickelodeon Making Fiends page, is also tormented by [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling eight younger siblings.]]* CannotSpitItOut: Mr. Milk* CatchPhrase: ''Ooh, a puppy!"** "So, she wants a [noun]? I think I will make her a [noun], a very special [noun]!"** "I will destroy you....destroy you with FIENDS!"** "My [noun]!" ** [[AnnoyingLaugh Teehee]]!** "[Person Charlotte likes] is THE BEST!"* ConditionedToAcceptHorror Maggie, who doesn't even react to Charlotte's new pony.* CrapsackWorld: Clamburg is a pretty crappy place to live, although it is implied that it used to be a nice town before Vendetta showed up.* CrossdressingVoices: Mrs. Minty is voiced by Peter Merryman, [[TalkingToHimself the same guy who voices Mr. Milk, Marvin, Malachi, Mort, Grudge, and various townspeople and fiends]].** Amy Winfrey, the show's creator, plays Charlotte, Grandma Charlene, Giant Kitty, Marion, Maggie, Buttons, and Mrs. Millet. Producer and director Dave Wasson, voices Vendetta's father, Viktor, and Mr. Gumpit. In fact, Aglaia Mortcheva is the only one ''not'' doing double duty, playing only Vendetta.** Hilariously, the [[http://makingfiends.com/fiend/movies/aprilfoolsversions/fiend06.swf April Fools' version of the sixth webisode]] replaces all the spoken dialogue with a text-to-speech computer voice. All of the voices used are male.* [[DealWithTheDevil Deal With The Toupee]]: The Toupee Fiend promises to get Mr. Milk the life and Ms. Minty he always wanted, so long as Mr. Milk kills Charlotte. [[spoiler: He doesn't go through with it, leading to a DownerEnding.]]* DevelopmentHell: The show had been in the planning stages for years and there were promos made for it ages before it actually aired on tv, only for it to get a shaky under promoted start and then tossed back into development.** The second season has been this. Six episodes in, the series stopped airing episodes. The last episode was in 2008, though the creators has season 2 episodes.* DownerEnding: Two words: Toupee episode.* DumbIsGood: Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte.* EconomyCast* EvilCannotComprehendGood: "No Singing" where Charlotte falls into depression and Vendetta tries to cheer her up (only for her to sing so a new fiend can flatten her). Her attempts to cheer her up involve the foods that she enforces upon everyone, magazines about torturing others and the other students being attacked. These don't exactly help.* ExpositoryThemeTune* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Vendetta cannot destroy Charlotte no matter how hard she tries! About halfway in the tv series, Charlotte gets even more stupider, and even more invincible.* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Played with in a bit of dialogue.-->'''Charlotte''': But Vendetta, what can I do if a kitty is stranded up high and I want to get it down?-->'''Vendetta''': [[KickTheDog You could shoot it]]...[[{{Beat}} (long pause)]]...with a [[{{Nerf}} water gun]].* FantasticRacism: Vendetta always calls Charlotte "Stupid Blue Girl!"* FunnyForeigner: Vendetta's parents.* GagSub: The April Fools' web episode, which was originally written in Bulgarian.* TheGlomp: Mr. Huggles' entire purpose.* HasTwoMommies: "Mama Vendetta"* TheHeartless: Vendetta's fiends are a subversion, as they can become tame when influenced by Charlotte.* HeyItsThatVoice / ProductionPosse: Peter Merryman is the voice of Amy Winfrey's WebAnimation/BigBunny. Amy Winfrey herself, who has also done voices in her other cartoons.* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Charlotte.* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The web animations used to come in available [=DVDs=] with many alternate versions and character commentaries of the webisodes. Since ''Making Fiends'' is licensed by Nickelodeon, the creators can't sell any of its merchandise, even what they made independently. All of the DVD was uploaded by someone on [=YouTube=] at one time, but he deleted his account over a year ago. The only way you can get a DVD of the webisodes is if you win the [[http://www.makingfiends.com/artcontest2010/contest2010.htm Making Fiends Art Contest]].** As of May 2013, Amy Winfrey has an [[http://www.youtube.com/user/fancymeats official YouTube channel]] and has uploaded all twenty-one of the original web episodes. * LickedByTheDog: Charlotte likes Vendetta despite all of the horrible things the latter tries to do to her.* LighterAndSofter: To a ''slight'' degree. In a first few episodes of the web series, there were posters in the back of the classroom that weren't very kid-friendly, such as a cat being hanged, and a poster that read [[DudeNotFunny "A is for Alimony"]]. When Nickelodeon licensed Making Fiends, these were removed. In the TV adaptions, they also changed "Hellcat" to "fiend cat" and "your eyeballs will fall out!" to "your eyebrows will fall out!".* MeaningfulName: Vendetta. Charlotte might count, depending on whether or not the StealthPun was intentional.* [[MesaCrowd Me's a Crowd]]: Charlotte in "Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!"* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Mrs. Minty in "The Substitute Teacher". Oddly enough, Mr. Milk seems to have [[AllLoveIsUnrequited a bit of a thing for her.]]* {{Megane}} ({{Meganekko}}): Mr. Milk and Ms. Minty.* MegaNeko: The Giant Kitty.* NeverSayDie* NonHumanSidekick: Grudge, the giant hamster.* OhCrap: Vendetta's reaction when the Canary Bombs she tossed off a cliff learn to fly and make a V-line straight for her.* ParentalAbandonment: Charlotte claims that her parents are on a space station (it is implied that they died); Vendetta keeps her parents in a hamster cage.** It's also worth noting that in "Parents", Vendetta and Malachi were the only kids to show up to the parent teacher conference with a full set of parents.* PetTheDog: Strongly averted in Vendetta's case. [[spoiler: Just tell yourself that any time it looks like Vendetta's actually doing something nice for somebody, there is always a sinister ulterior motive. ALWAYS.]]* ThePollyanna: Charlotte, to the extreme. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Though there's always the possibility]] that she's [[StepfordSmiler not as happy as she seems]]. * RealMenWearPink: Grudge, the presumably male giant hamster, once donned a frilly, pink apron while cleaning Vendetta's house, and was shown to be very good at it. * Remaster: The webseries episodes on Amy Winfrey's YouTube account have been rerendered in HD widescreen. * RunningGag: Marvin has something of his destroyed (or injured) and goes "My ____ !"** The President's Day episode builds on this, as ''every single sentence'' of his begins "my". -->''My fellow students! My plan, if elected, is to...''-->(upon being overthrown a class president by Vendetta) ''My term...so short... My downfall...so swift..."* ShortRunners: The TV show lasted six episodes.* SlasherSmile: Vendetta got a very scary one in "Super Evil".* SnapBack: Used in many of the web episodes, [[spoiler:but subverted in episodes 18-21, when many events lead up to Clamburg being rendered uninhabitable by fiends, forcing everyone in Clamburg to board a large boat and [[DownerEnding search hopelessly for dry land]].]] * SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: In a fashion. Vendetta and Charlotte both took the quiz in Vendetta's evil magazine. To her horror, Charlotte's score indicated that she was more evil than Vendetta. This led to Vendetta studying Charlotte and attempting to learn from her.* SpannerInTheWorks: Vendetta's birthday party of DOOM for Charlotte is undone by her sheer stupidity and general niceness.** Actually, ''most'' of Vendetta's plans end up undone by Charlotte's stupidity and general niceness, in both versions.* StealthPun: In "Mama Vendetta".** "Look Vendetta! They're forming a [[ComicBook/VForVendetta 'V'! For you!]]"** Of the two main characters, [[Music/GoodCharlotte Charlotte's the nice one]].* TalkingToHimself: The voice cast for the TV series consists of just nine people, including the director and the composer. Only three of these nine people voice regulars. The web version had even fewer voice actors. Seriously.* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The clothing of the human characters is [[LongPants barely detailed]] other than that the girls wear dresses/muumuus and the boys wear shorts. Also, for some reason, all the male characters have ears and none of the females do, even if they're wearing earings.* TooDumbToLive: Charlotte again. Even the others [[{{Lampshading}} admit it]]:-->'''Charlotte:''' I wish Vendetta could be here.-->''(Happy music stops)''-->'''Maggie:''' Charlotte's dumb.** Subverted for the most part that Charlotte always seems to avoid certain death. [[spoiler: Her clones in the episode "Puppies!Puppies!Puppies!" on the other hand, plays this straight by riding a slide right into the gaping maw of a huge fiend. It takes the very last clone (after HUNDREDS) to realise what's going on, only to have the fiend's jaw snap shut on her.]]* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Vendetta and clams.* UnknownRival: Charlotte is never aware of Vendetta's mean attitude towards her.* UnluckyEverydude: Poor Marvin.* VanillaEdition: The DVD of the TV series.* VerbalTic: Marvin beginning almost every sentence with "my" and Charlotte's "tee-hee".* VillainSong: Vendetta gets "Me And My Best Friend Marion", which is a song based on pretending to be friends with marion so Charlotte won't play with Vendetta.** She also gets "If you lived upon the moon..." which is a alternate version of Charlotte's song "If I lived upon the moon", while she's pointing out the downsides of living on the moon.** She also shares quite a few songs with Charlotte. "Neighbors" and "Cheese" (While, Charlotte's dream vendetta).* VocalEvolution: From the web series to cartoon the two main characters voices deepened.* WebFirst* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Though it's implied that the birthday cake Vendetta made for Charlotte is poisoned, we never do find out what's in it (besides strawberries and clams).* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Malachi's dialogue consists exclusively of this. When asking Marion what Charlotte was doing with a giant hairbrush:-->'''Malachi''': Whither doth yon cheery one go with yon titan implement?** Even lampshaded once, where after Malachi is done talking Charlotte says, "...What?"
